how do i get my app to always stay on top?

[slightly_abnormal]

Hello there..

I've tried various mixtures of codes to get my program to always be on top of other windows, but it's not working out.. e.g. heres an example..

if processexist ("swatblatter.exe") or ("autoit3.exe") then
opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
WinSetState ("swatblatter", "", @SW_SHOW)
winactive("swatblatter")
winactivate("swatblatter")
endif

opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
WinSetState ("swatblatter", "", @SW_SHOW)
winactive("swatblatter")
winactivate("swatblatter")

thanks for such a wonderful program!

appreciate the help!

Is this your own script, or external application?

You using guicreate?

If so have you tried $WS_EX_TOPMOST as the extended style?
